The rational design of single-atom catalysts featuring excellent conductivity, highly accessible discrete active sites and favorable mass transfer is crucial for electrocatalysis but remains challenging. In this study, a reliable Ni-catalyzed and Ni-templated strategy is developed to synthesize a si...
